Unchanged. Nice. Stephens out completely.

That's a peculiar take on history. The 1947 UN pre Israel proposal was an Arab State and a Jewish state. 2 states. The 1949 Armistice lines included Gaza and the West Bank, plus Israel. Essentially an Arab state under occupation from 2 established sovereign Arab countries, plus Israel. 2 states. At no point from 1947 was the intention to have a homegenised Israeli/Arab state and/or for Gaza or West Bank (or the 1947 proposed Arab state if you prefer) to be occupied or blockaded by Israel.

I suspect they are SoG. Regardless, not our circus etc.

He played RWB in a 352.

This is bloody tight.

Not me, but like you, it's something I'm thinking about getting into.

Aberg 1 up. We won't smash them like I was hoping, sadly.

Yeah. We'll be fine. Hojgaard and Rahm looking good, and Fitzpatrick should hold on.

Indeed. We live in an era where online polls can be done daily. Back then, mori or whoever had to send teams of people out onto the streets all around the country to take polls. They didn't do that daily, and not every time a politician did something that would spike the polls one way or the other. The graph is bollox.

I understand fully. Those are polls that show the highest unpopularity rating at the time of asking. That's different to the highest unpopularity of the leadership. Regardless, you've got to be pretty daft to think that at his peak of unpopularity, Major was more unpopular than many if that lot, your mate Thatcher especially.

Again, it's completely meaningless without the context of whether those figures were at a snapshot in time, or at peak unpopularity. None of that ^^^ waffle addresses that.

People have to convince themselves sometimes. Any poll which suggests that peak Major or Sunak was more unpopular than peak Thatcher is bollox. Only a Thatcher fanboy would buy that. Oh.

Manning was hung out to dry a bit yesterday. 3 on 2 for large periods. In that situation you find yourself closing down spaces rather than getting tight to a man. Jelert couldn't have done any better imo.

That's completely meaningless without knowing at what point of their leadership the sample was taken. I'd hazard a guess that at peak times, Thatcher, Blair and Johnson were more unpopular than Major ever was, ditto Starmer.

Nice summary in the Australian news - always good to have a neutrals take on it. Summary - US fans, players, caddies = classless peasants. https://www.news.com.au/sport/golf/shut-the-f-up-mcilroy-blows-up-as-ryder-cup-mayhem-causes-concern/news-story/a9624b0dfb3ae620d444375595a93a5d

It's a half glass full of half glass empty thing. That's a half glass empty comment - or overly negative if you like. We drew with the league leaders with a massively changed team, and a much improved performance. Players playing together for the first time played well together. My glass is half full. Was yesterday perfect, no, there's still a lack of ideas and confidence up front, but Still showed he has a pair, and the players turned up. I've no idea how the season will pan out, but the only game that matters is the next one and I'm much more positive about that after yesterday.

Yep, we've done badly and are well below where this squad should be, but talk of relegation 6 pointers at this stage of the season is ridiculous. Decent mauled by the tigers line though.

If we're there 2/3 of the way through the season, you'd have a point. At this stage it's just daft trolling.

Rory MacIlroy's "shut the fuck up" to a noisy yank idiot was quality. Even better was the shot he followed it with.

Relegation. Behave.

Yep. Exactly that, although Fellows making it a 3 behind Stewart going forwards.

Yep. 3421. Matching their shape. Fellows trying to peg Targett back, and tracking him when he gets forwards.
